“This is one gifted sonofabitch!”
Rupert prefers to perform in smaller listening rooms like Grounds & Sounds, where the audience is up close and the emphasis is on the music. He was voted an Artist of The Year in both 2013 and 2016 by the international house concert network Concerts In Your Home. Despite Wates’ British background, Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange has called him “a prime figure in American music.” Audiences everywhere respond to Wates’ brand of melodic art/folk—haunting songs that ring true.
